Dental Implant Restoration

Dental Implants - Today's Gold Standard for Replacing Missing Teeth

Dental implants are small, screw-shaped titanium posts that are placed in your jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. During the healing period, which may take a few months, the implant fuses with the bone, providing a stable foundation for implant restorations carefully crafted to match your smile. After healing, a connector called an abutment will secure your new replacement teeth to your implants.

Dr. Krampe and his team at Shoreline Smiles work closely with your periodontist or oral surgeon, who will place your dental implants. We complete your implant process by creating restorations from the highest quality materials. Whether you are missing one, some, or all of your teeth, we have the solution for you.

What Are the Benefits of Implant Dentistry

Dental implants provide a long-term solution for patients wanting to restore missing teeth and those preferring not to wear dentures. They offer many benefits, including the following:

Implant dentistry is a permanent option for replacing missing teeth
Dental implants act like natural tooth roots, preventing bone loss.
Your new teeth will never slip or shift out of place.
Your new implants will improve your speech
You'll restore your ability to chew and eat your favorite foods.
Your dental restorations will support your facial structure, restoring your youthful contours.
Implant dentistry is predictable, with more than a 95 percent success rate.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental exams and cleanings, your dental implants have the potential to last a lifetime.

Types of Implant Restorations Offered by Shoreline Smiles

The following are the types of implant restorations we offer:

Single Tooth Implants: If you are missing a tooth, Dr. Krampe may recommend a single tooth implant. The procedure involves placing a dental crown on a single implant, restoring your smile's health, function, and beautifully natural appearance.
Implant-Supported Bridges: Implant bridges offer an ideal solution for patients missing two or several teeth in a row. Unlike traditional fixed bridges that rely on natural teeth for support, implant-supported bridges are secured to dental implants on either side of the gap, providing exceptional stability and function, without the risk of tooth decay.
Overdentures: Also known as implant-supported dentures, overdentures are ideal for individuals missing multiple teeth or those not wanting to wear traditional dentures. Anywhere between two and six implants anchor your denture securely in place, giving you the confidence they'll never shift out of position.

How Should You Care for Dental Implant Restorations

Caring for implant restorations is no different from caring for your natural teeth. That involves daily brushing and flossing and avoiding biting down on hard objects, which can damage your natural tooth enamel and your replacement teeth. It's important to keep up with your routine dental exams and cleaning. Our team will monitor your gums, natural teeth, and restorations to ensure you maintain a healthy, beautiful, and functional smile.
